A lot depends on the machine you are using to lift it too. I wouldn't go any shorter than around 120' line if you are using a squirrel. I recently lifted a Gyro copter that had suffered a similar fate. Initially i was told it was an fixed wing so had planned the lift around that, and spoken to an old school pilot who had done it a few times. He reckoned you should lift it nose low, and if there is any worry about the aircraft trying to fly then break up any lifting surfaces with tie downs and rags or even timber. That was wings on though so your job should be more straight forward. I imagine the 210 fuselage will fly quite nice, but a drogue off the tail wont hurt in keeping it straight. Good luck and send some pics!
